Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They were not your typical World War II soldiers. Most were not in particularly good physical shape, and many had trouble handling their weapons. They differed widely in their ages, politics, and skills. Many worked in academia, media, and the arts. They were a strange mix of Americans and foreign nationals, immigrants, and refugees, linked by their language skills, knowledge of Europe, and a desire to defeat the Axis. During the war, the U.S. Army trained them in psychological warfare at a secret camp on the Gettysburg battlefield and then sent them to Europe. They became known as “Psycho Boys,” a group of soldiers who have never received their due respect. In this book Beverley Driver Eddy, author of Ritchie Boy Secrets, tells their rarely heard story and argues for their importance to the Allied war effort. At Gettysburg the Psycho Boys were taught the various skills that would be necessary in the European campaign from D-Day onward: prisoner and civilian interrogation, broadcasting, loudspeaker appeals, leaflet and newspaper production, and technical support. The 800 men were divided into four mobile radio broadcasting companies and sent to Europe to land on D-Day, fight in Normandy and at the Bulge, and participate in the conquest of Germany and the liberation of the concentration camps. Some of the soldiers operated well out in front of Allied lines and – in German – called on enemy soldiers to surrender. Others worked behind the lines, printing propaganda leaflets and making radio broadcasts. Drawing on company histories, memoirs, and veteran interviews, this book traces the history of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Mobile Radio Broadcasting Companies and the individuals who served in them. For far too long, these soldiers were maligned as mere “paragraph troopers,” because they fought with words rather than bullets. As Eddy shows, the Psycho Boys hastened victory and saved countless lives by encouraging enemy soldiers to desert or surrender. Their story is an important and fascinating contribution to World War II scholarship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «Contrairement à tout ce qu’on racontait au sujet des Psycho Boys et de leur absence de sentiments, Matthew, lui, était capable d’aimer. Il arrivait à éprouver non seulement de l’amour, mais aussi de la compassion et de la sympathie envers autrui, choses qu’il n’avait jamais ressenties auparavant, quand il habitait Fairy Lake. Sydney l’avait changé. Elle avait fait de lui un meilleur homme, et pour cela, il lui serait éternellement reconnaissant.» Un an s’est écoulé depuis les événements de Fairy Lake. Grâce au programme de protection des témoins, Matthew Craine et Sydney Fisher vivent désormais dans une autre ville sous une nouvelle identité. De son côté, Winter Craine, célèbre Psycho Boy en fuite, s’est débarrassé d’un des trois Premiers, mais sa mission sera inachevée tant qu’il n’aura pas éliminé les deux autres membres de ce trio diabolique. Pourchassés dans tout le pays par des tueurs du SRS, Matthew et Sydney retourneront à Fairy Lake afin d’y retrouver Winter. Les cousins Craine et leurs compagnons devront cependant affronter un nouvel adversaire: une force spéciale de l’armée qui a pour tâche de rassembler tous les Psycho Boys du pays et de les enfermer à Psycho Land...

Download or read book Exploring the Psycho social Therapies Through the Personalities of Effective Therapists written by James Kelso Dent and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Institute of Mental Health has long been interested in the effectiveness of various ways of dealing with the mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. However, there is a continuing problem in evaluation in that it is sometimes difficult to describe accurately what goes on in therapy. This study examines the personality of the intervener, to better understand what is being done, and assess the effectiveness of specific kinds of interventions. The studies are presented chronologically, in the first person, to enable the reader to see clearly where the ideas and methods came from, where they went awry, and where they appear to have worked well. A number of critical issues are considered, some of them methodologic, others substantive. One recurring question concerns the extent to which it may be possible to specify good psycho-social therapy in general. Or must we find the psycho-social therapy which is appropriate to each type of human problem? On this issue will ultimately depend the optimal designs for mental health services, for mental health research, and for mental health training.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They were almost The Pendletones--after the Pendleton wool shirts favored on chilly nights at the beach--then The Surfers, before being named The Beach Boys. But what separated them from every other teenage garage band with no musical training? They had raw talent, persistence and a wellspring of creativity that launched them on a legendary career now in its sixth decade. Following the musical vision of Brian Wilson, the Beach Boys blended ethereal vocal harmonies, searing electric guitars and lush arrangements into one of the most distinctive sounds in the history of popular music. Drawing on original interviews and newly uncovered documents, this book untangles the band's convoluted early history and tells the story of how five boys from California formed America's greatest rock 'n' roll band.

Book excerpt: An Alabama boy’s innocence is shaken by murder and madness in the 1960s South in this novel by the New York Times–bestselling author of Swan Song. It’s 1964 in idyllic Zephyr, Alabama. People either work for the paper mill up the Tecumseh River, or for the local dairy. It’s a simple life, but it stirs the impressionable imagination of twelve-year-old aspiring writer Cory Mackenson. He’s certain he’s sensed spirits whispering in the churchyard. He’s heard of the weird bootleggers who lurk in the dark outside of town. He’s seen a flood leave Main Street crawling with snakes. Cory thrills to all of it as only a young boy can. Then one morning, while accompanying his father on his milk route, he sees a car careen off the road and slowly sink into fathomless Saxon’s Lake. His father dives into the icy water to rescue the driver, and finds a beaten corpse, naked and handcuffed to the steering wheel—a copper wire tightened around the stranger’s neck. In time, the townsfolk seem to forget all about the unsolved murder. But Cory and his father can’t. Their search for the truth is a journey into a world where innocence and evil collide. What lies before them is the stuff of fear and awe, magic and madness, fantasy and reality. As Cory wades into the deep end of Zephyr and all its mysteries, he’ll discover that while the pleasures of childish things fade away, growing up can be a strange and beautiful ride. “Strongly echoing the childhood-elegies of King and Bradbury, and every bit their equal,” Boy’s Life, a winner of both the Bram Stoker and World Fantasy Awards, represents a brilliant blend of mystery and rich atmosphere, the finest work of one of today’s most accomplished writers (Kirkus Reviews).
